ALE13F24 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALE13F24 is a general purpose relay manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, configured as a SPST-NO (1 Form A) with a 24VDC coil and 16A contact rating. This through-hole mounted relay is designed for industrial control applications requiring reliable switching at 277VAC maximum. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and redesign applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ALE13F24 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Coil voltage specification (24VDC)
• Contact configuration (SPST-NO, 1 Form A)
• Current rating (16A minimum)
• Maximum switching voltage (277VAC or higher)
• Mounting method (through-hole with PC pin quick-connect 0.187" termination)
• Coil type (non-latching operation)
• Contact material composition (Silver Tin Oxide)

The PCK-124D2M,000 from TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield Relays meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PCK-124D2M,000 is a suitable substitute for the obsolete ALE13F24 based on functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both relays share identical coil voltage, contact configuration, current rating, and switching voltage specifications.

The PCK-124D2M,000 carries active product status from TE Connectivity, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part maintains the same termination style and mounting method, enabling direct board-level replacement without mechanical redesign.

Minor differences exist in coil current (20.8 mA versus 16.7 mA) and coil resistance (1.15 kOhms versus 1.44 kOhms), which reflect normal manufacturing variations between manufacturers. The faster release time of the PCK-124D2M,000 (10 ms versus 20 ms) provides improved switching performance. The operating temperature range of the substitute (-30°C to 85°C) is narrower at the lower bound but remains suitable for most industrial applications within the specified upper limit.

The ALE13F24 holds RoHS compliance certification, while the PCK-124D2M,000 status is vendor-undefined. Both parts carry CSA, TUV, UR, and VDE approvals (ALE13F24) or equivalent certifications appropriate to their respective manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PCK-124D2M,000 be used as a direct replacement for the ALE13F24 on existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. Both relays share identical coil voltage (24VDC), contact configuration (SPST-NO), current rating (16A), switching voltage (277VAC), and termination style (PC pin quick-connect 0.187"). No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What are the differences in coil specifications between these two relays?

A: The PCK-124D2M,000 draws 20.8 mA coil current compared to 16.7 mA for the ALE13F24, with a lower coil resistance of 1.15 kOhms versus 1.44 kOhms. These differences reflect normal manufacturing variations and do not affect functional compatibility in standard 24VDC control circuits.

Q: Does the faster release time of the PCK-124D2M,000 affect system performance?

A: The PCK-124D2M,000 releases in 10 ms versus 20 ms for the ALE13F24. This faster release time improves switching response and does not create compatibility issues. Applications requiring specific release timing should verify this parameter against system requirements.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The ALE13F24 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the PCK-124D2M,000 operates from -30°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -30°C, the original ALE13F24 specification must be maintained. For standard industrial temperature ranges, the substitute is suitable.

Q: What is the availability status of each part?

A: The ALE13F24 is obsolete with 862 pieces in stock. The PCK-124D2M,000 is active production from TE Connectivity with 878 pieces in stock, ensuring long-term supply availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.
